Abstract Objective: To describe the clinical features of delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy after smoke inhalation from dry burning. Methods: We collected the clinical history and examination data of a patient who presented with delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy due to smoke poisoning. Results: Patients exposed to heavy smoke from dry burning carbonization can develop delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy. Conclusion: Delayed post-hypoxic leukoencephalopathy after smoke poisoning during cooking is rare. Family should bring patients to a hospital as soon as possible when observing abnormal neurologic symptoms after smoke inhalation to prevent irreversible damage to the brain.
